If I signed up for twitter and plurk and had my twitter account update whenever my plurk account updated and my plurk account update whenever my twitter account updated, could I initiate an infinite loop of updates with a single post?

I don't understand why Twitter is so popular. I signed up for it for the station but I never use it. It seems silly, 'going to the bathroom now' and such type posts. If a net 'ho like me doesn't like it, it has to be cheeky. I haven't even looked at Plurk yet.

I don't have any idea what the fuck tweeter and pluck are. I'm glad for that.

Blah blah. Of course after I posted this I went and re-checked Twitter out and followed a bunch of people. I didn't know I could do it from the phone, that could make dialysis less dull.

So yah, I guess I'm in..

don't like Plurk. layout-wise, too needlessly busy and unfriendly.

just had my Ping.fm account activated (well, last week).

If Twitters are Plurks and Plurks are Pings, does that mean that Twitters are Pings?
